All students in the course take modules on playwriting and other forms of writing for the theatre ? and they then have opportunities to specialise further, based on their own skills and interests.In blending these forms of writing, we aim to produce graduates with a uniquely well rounded set of skills. Students will not just write plays, but will also attend the theatre weekly. Because they will study both creative writing and arts journalism, our students will have a strong understanding of how their work is judged ? and will thus be better able to judge it themselves. Because of NUI Galway?s rich tradition of theatre production, writers will have ample opportunities to workshop and stage their plays. And because Galway has such a strong tradition of live theatre (and other creative arts), students with an interest in arts journalism will be able to see world-class work throughout the academic year.
